(ff eet i American Institute uf Electrical Engineers, Xational Professional Society SlcctfiCccd The initial work in electrical enoineerino is centered about electrical machinery such as oener- ators, motors, and electronic circuits. Laboratory experiments supplement the lectures in explaining the performance of this equipment, while advanced courses present specialized phases of this studv. To keep abreast of recent developments in this Held, the student engineer mav join the joint chapter of the Institute of Radio Engineers and the American Institute of Electrical Engineering. At meetings, students and guest speakers present topics of current interest. Also, field trips to in- stallations and plants in the surrounding area are conducted in order to acquaint members with the practical application of classroom theory and fundamentals. A recent trip was made to the Safe Harbor hydroelectric project, Pennsylvania ' s Grand Coulee Dam on the Susquehanna, where water power is translormed to electrical power and transmitted to the consumer. Membership in the AIEE-IRE allows the engineering student to meet his fellow engineers on ,1 social basis and is an unmistakable asset to his preparation for his profession. Dr. George A.

American Society of Ci ' il Engineers, Narional Professional Society ( cwi In 1921, the Civil Engineering Department installed a student chapter of the American So- ciety for Civil Engineers. The purpose of this organization is largely to promote social and profes- sional contact with prominent men in the field of ci il engineering. At semi monthly meetings, the student engineer has the opportunitx ' to hear nationalix recognized military, highway, and bridge en- gineers speak and to see technical motion pictures related to his work. Several meetings during the vear are based essentially on student participation. In these, the student engineers discuss their civil engineering jobs of the pre ious summer or report on research work on which they have been engaged. Our ASCE chapter publishes a semi-annual magazine entitled On the Lexel which informs students of activities in the professional engineering field. And, for the first time in its histor ' , the Society has published a Handbook of the Department, designed primarily to impart information to freshmen in the enginecrino field. In April, sexeral delegated from Bucknell attended the eleventh Annual ASCE Convention at the LIni ersit of PennsvKania. Here students from many schools presented technical papers in a C()mpetiti e contest. The substance of these papers concerned the contributions of one ' s knowledge .md outlook to ci il engineering as a profession. Dr. Dazcll M. Griffith Mr. Robert A. Gardner Mr. George J. Herman 30 Surveying is one of the basic courses for the civil engineer.
